Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Balanced Training
Equipment:
- ✓ Clickers
- ✓ Food Rewards
Control Canine utilizes the Dual Reward System (DRS), which stands for “Negative Positive Positive.” This innovative approach combines affirmative reinforcement (reward-based training) with adversarial reinforcement (applying a mild discomforting stimulus and withdrawing it upon desired behavior).
The system aims to achieve exceptionally dependable canine behaviors, even amidst distractions. The objective is to cultivate a positive emotional experience for the dog during training, fostering eagerness and precision. DRS strives to build a robust connection and mutual comprehension between the dog and handler, encouraging collaboration based on rapport rather than solely on external incentives or apprehension.
Testimonials
“We come to Allan at Control Canine all the way from Michigan! He worked with our Belgian Malinois for a year before we brought him home, Vader has the most wonderful temperament, is controlled and obedient in all situations and environments. Even my youngest daughter of 6 years old, handles him with ease. All that and he is just the most amazing loving addition to our family, all thanks to Allan. We now only board with Allan because we know our sweet boy will be in the best care.”
– Nina Bogue

– Nathalie Belin
“Allen trained my first mini bull terrier Coca, and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. He has also given me so much advice on dogs and training. Sending your dog to train with Allen is one of the best things you can do. I can take all my dogs anywhere off leash thanks to him. He can also train you to train your dogs, which is especially valuable, having multiple dogs.”
